you know, tell them because your Com­mander said so and that he would not lie to you.
 The grown-ups also teach you to cheat one another through your lessons in arithmetic at school by showing you how to charge interest on money and credit that does not belong to you.
 You should not permit anybody to train you to become interest collecting swindlers under any pretext whatsoever.
 The human race has been miseducated by the financiers’ falsity to such an extent during the past that the world is now made up almost exclusively of cheats, liars, thieves, murderers, beggars, dope-fiends and suicides.
 You children must go out into the highways and educate the grown-ups to tell the TRUTH. You must teach them to stop cheating one another. Tell them that it is only half witted tricksters who steal a living in this world. Tell them that they are not so old but that they can turn around and follow an honest and truthful course. Tell them that they will become stronger physically, mentally and morally if they will stop smoking dope and drinking booze.
 If you study Direct Credits and Law­son­o­my you can teach your teachers what you have learned if they nave not already studied these advanced books.
 One of our boys told me recently that his professor at school picked out of his desk a copy of the book Law­son­o­my that he was studying instead of the school books and asked permission to take it for a few days to “see what it said.”

 But he let him take it and when the Pro­fessor returned it a week later and said, “Boy, that is a great book,” the boy said, “I know it is, Professor, but I didn’t think you would know it.”
 Children, you grow up like the people you associate with; so you must be careful in choosing your company.
 Direct Credits Children are taught to live good, clean lives in every way. They are allowed to join this society as officers and take part in our social activities pro tem. We help them all to overcome their physical, mental and moral weaknesses that were forced upon them by their forefathers. We do everything possible to lead them straight, but if they will not live according to the strict discipline of our organization we have to refuse them permanent membership rather than to allow them to contaminate our decent children.
 Direct Credits Officers are starting a new race of thinking machines whose understanding of Natural Law is as far ahead of the theoretical college man as he is ahead of the chimpanzee.
 These great thinking men, women and children say that as a starter we must ABOLISH INTEREST or nothing else counts.
 Now, children, God has given you each a thinking machine to use for a useful purpose during this earthly life. What are you going
